The Runaway
Chap 10: The Meeting
Superboy was here.
In his parents' home?
What are the odds of that? I had to make sure though. He looked exactly like I did when I was younger. My parents told me about him. Joe Henry? How did he come up with that name? Yes, it had to be him. My parents welcomed him and brought him to where I was to introduce us.
Connor POV
What just happened here? Their son was here, how was this possible? I thought it would be just us. I guess he just showed up. He greeted me and he seemed nice. Clark Kent, the Daily Planet reporter. He knew Lois Lane who in turn knew Superman. This was weird. We were led to the table. Mrs. Kent said this dinner would be in my honor or something. I accepted because I had turned down their family dinners when their son was here many times.
Normal POV
They had dinner and Superman or Clark Kent couldn't stop looking at him. Discreetly of course, he didn't want to come off as a creep. Clark had asked Joe many questions about himself secretly trying to verify if this was in fact Superboy. The more he asked he realized, this was in fact the clone everybody was looking for. It was ironic that he had to be the one that found him. In his house none the less. Well, his parents' house.
He would notify the league as soon as he was home he couldn't risk being overheard by the boy. He also needed to find out why he really had left. How did he really end up in this situation. During his "interrogation" as his father had said the boy didn't give much information. All his answers were vague, as if he didn't want to give any information about himself. As if he was hiding something. Which was ultimately one of the reasons why he knew it was he.
Another was the mention of his dog wolf.
Joe Henry would never now that Clark Kent knew of wolf. Batman had informed him if his decision to have a pet/ guard dog. He still hadn't seen the dog but his parent's description of the dog left nothing to doubt.
His parents seemed to like him. He was thankful though that "Joe Henry" was helping his aging parents. Even though he did not feel comfortable around his clone, he was thankful nonetheless. The only thing he was dreading was his parents response to the fact that the boy they liked so much just happened to be his clone. A part of himself that was forcefully made without his consent. To his parents though that would not matter. They would consider him a part of the family.
They would be upset. He needed to figure something out for all their sakes. He just needed to figure out the boy. What were his true intentions.
HOURS Later
Dinner was done and Clark did not let his manners slip no matter how weird it was being around the boy. That was superman's way. Right now he was Clark Kent. He would act with the education and hospitality his parents instilled in him. Or else his mother who have his ears. That…and there would be no Pie.
He drove off to his car's hiding location and request transport to the watchtower to inform every one of his findings.
New chapter up. You Know what to do. Enjoy!
